[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this has to be the stupidest stretch of an idea.  The 100th day of school was used to teach our K or first grade how to count to 100.  They used pins, popcorn, post-its, cereal, etc.  and glued the items on a display board to practice counting to 100.  I will never understand how dressing up like an old person ever became a ‘thing’.   I truly don’t get it at all. In fact, when we grew up, we didn’t even know what day of the school year it was.  We didn’t know if it was Day 80 or Day 115.   There was no head nod at all to the 100th day.  When did that even start?  But regardless, using it as a motivator to get kids to count items up to 100 seems acceptable.  But, spraying hair gray and walking with a cane should be left for Halloween.  [/quote]

Yes.  Schools have lost their minds.  It's a missed math learning opportunity.  Instead this is more so the teachers can laugh at the kids who look older than they do. Back in my day, school wasn't fun, but at least we learned things.  Nowadays schools try to be fun all the time but are not so much into the educational aspect.[/quote]
